Poetry

---

Know of how great a struggle,
All of those who have not seen;
Face to face with the trouble,
Of the conflict that has been.

That your heart be encouraged,
And knit together in love;
Never to be discouraged,
By any events thereof.

Reach for wealth of assurance,
Having the understanding;
To persevere endurance,
What the Lord is commanding.

The secret of God is Christ,
Of hidden all the treasure;
Wisdom and knowledge enticed,
For your spiritual pleasure.

So nobody may delude,
Should they try to beguile;
As someone may have argued,
Of a holy lifestyle.

Maybe absent in the flesh,
I rejoice with faith in Christ;
Because my spirit is fresh,
Steadfast in the sacrificed.
